Abdul 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Hi guys, anyone know what colour this is? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/VW_Corrado_16_V_%282010-04-12%29_ret2.jpg Doesn't look like blackberry to me, this seems to have a darker purple hue....

Walesy 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Twilight violet pearl effect - LC4T Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swompy 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Might be dark burgundy pearl but from that pic looks like it might have a slight blue tinge to it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Nah, it's twilight violet, like one of my ex's! Hard to capture pearl colours as they change so much according to light etc. Edited December 7, 2011 by Walesy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 7, 2011 It's neither of those. It's a colour which I've only seen over in Germany - the paintcode doesn't even exist over here on our Corrado brochures for some reason! I've got a photo of the paint code from a Corrado over in Germany somewhere at home which I'll try and dig out tonight if I remember to confirm it!

Bendy 0 Posted December 7, 2011 looks the same colour as mine, as walesy said, twilight violet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 7, 2011 I believe it's this colour: Which is LC4V and simply called Violet Pearl Effect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Ooh, OK i'll stand corrected, never heard of that one and it certainly looks close to twilight violet pearl! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 7, 2011 I wouldn't have been so sure had I not seen a similar colour in Germany before and spent a bit of time trying to find out what it was! And then saw that one on German plates!! :) To be honest it could just as easily be Blackberry in the right light! :) But I'm pretty sure it's this LC4V!

VR6 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Whatever it is, I love that Corrado in general - absolutely stunning and how they all should look! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Agreed, it sits very nicely, proper sized wheels/tyres etc, just a few subtle tweeks, nice to see! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted December 7, 2011 And the black leather Recaros as well. Just about how I would want my next one to look! How's it going anyway Dave, all good with the family and life in general matey? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Yeah all good cheers Tom, very busy but can't complain about that! So you're planning on getting another rado then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6storm v2 10 Posted December 7, 2011 It's neither of those. It's a colour which I've only seen over in Germany - the paintcode doesn't even exist over here on our Corrado brochures for some reason! I've got a photo of the paint code from a Corrado over in Germany somewhere at home which I'll try and dig out tonight if I remember to confirm it! I looked at a late VR in that very colour from the local VW Stealer back in 2000,it stayed local for a couple of years and then vanished,the reason I know it wasnt Twilight was that at the time JoeM's Corrado was owned up here and the one I looked at was deffo a different kind of hue to his one,I think it must have been a special order colour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 7, 2011 Interesting.. cheers for that Roddy. Does anyone know if it appears in any of the brochures then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abdul 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Thanks for the info Jim. I knew it wasn't twilight violet but couldn't put my finger on what it was.

boost monkey 0 Posted December 7, 2011 looks just like a lighter DBP to me. Pah! As if you ignored those Tom. Your Mk2 VR will look like this before long: *waits for his username to become Knob Me Sooty. Again* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Yeah all good cheers Tom, very busy but can't complain about that! So you're planning on getting another rado then? Good stuff - nice to see you on here still. Nothing planned for a while anyway - definitely not getting another until get a new house, hopefully first half of next year. What's going on with you two? :D No posts for ages and then all of a sudden..... :D Not complaining though. You both bring a certain entertainment value to the forum :lol: Is that certain entertainment basically just childish inuendo, smut and ham related tomfoolery? :grin: looks just like a lighter DBP to me. Pah! As if you ignored those Tom. Your Mk2 VR will look like this before long: *waits for his username to become Knob Me Sooty. Again* Hey that's pretty nice!! Nah, Soooty is old news now. I'll have to think outside the box. Waaaaay outside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
